OOTD: Winter is Coming!

It's been ages since I have done a proper ootd! Mostly because I have been busy (hence no time to take pretty pictures), others I felt that my outfits have just been drab due to the formerly mentioned reason.

cropped jumper: H&M/ dress: primark / cutout boots: zipia / chain link belt: asos / backpack: Nixon-General Pants co.

I wish I was more blatantly trendy but when it comes down to it, I'm a sucker for practicality and comfort. I don't think I could ever be one of those girls that carries around only their makeup travel case  to uni in a tiny little handbag.
I suffer from a case of nerdism- my bag is packed to the brim with my textbooks and other handy bits. I've learned to adopt to the lack of trends and the rather clunky aesthetic of a backpack [especially with skirts ): ]. I recently got this Nixon one for sale at $29.99 at General Pants Co. It's cute and decent for the price. I love the straps as they are seat belts and are pretty unique. I feel totally safe and "strapped in" with them.

The dress has been hiding in my closet for over two years, unworn. I finally whipped it out- and I love it! Thankyou Primark for such a good deal.

anyways, as to the title of this outfit- it is derived not only from it's literal boundaries but also from The Game of Thrones. I've been watching it lately, and it is so damn intense. It's a great show!

Weekly Visuals: My Crazy Rollercoaster Week- The XX Concert, Thoughts and Ootd's..

As I mentioned, I've been pretty occupied lately- from adjusting to university life, to becoming legal and also at times pondering my existentialist life and the point in the universe... well anyway. Without further ado, let me take  you through it.

L-R: top quality show and sets, Oliver serenading in front+ Jamie doing his thing behind.

I had the chance to go to The XX concert. My city was their first stop in their Australian tour, and luckily I became of legal age a few days before the concert that was held at a club. I was front row, aching in my Litas but it was worth it. 

They were exceptional live and with the atmospheric effects, I dare say better than the studio recordings. Most of their songs were mixed with more lively beats to accompany the amazing light show.  These pics are not edited/zoomed. I was so close to the stage and Oliver really does know how to wind up an audience. I admit I do admire Mr Oliver Sim, very much so.

 It was easily one of the greatest nights of my life.

Electric chemistry and skilled musicians, love.

what I'm wearing: vintage lace crop top, PU skirt by SES, Jeffrey Campbell Glitter Litas 

nightclubs with friends. Again in my glittery Litas, I love them. I feel like Dorothy. So damn comfy, received a lot of compliments on them.

what I'm wearing: Plaid pinafore by ASOS, black bag by H&M, Zipia Cutout Boots

  My mum celebrated her birthday recently. Plaid, pinafore, (faux) leather and cutouts for the occasion of dimsum.

L-R: Tripp NYC Red/Black Leg Jeans, Superga Sand Flatforms/ Lying on the grass and wondering

Wondering if I met the guy of my dreams thanks to these jeans. And not letting the thought go because I let him go. Other than being hard, I hate it when life is confusing.

Did I mention the lights broke in our bathroom? The result is, well, something unexpectedly beautiful and calming.

Have a great day,
Someone out there loves you.
